Ivanka confronted about sexual harassment claims against Donald Trump

First daughter Ivanka Trump has been questioned about sexual harassment claims against her father, US President Donald Trump.

It was during a heated NBC interview with Peter Alexander that she was asked, "Do you believe your father's accusers?"

Ivanka wasn't pleased with the question, saying, "I think it's a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he's affirmatively stated there's no truth to it."

"I don't think that's a question you would ask many other daughters," she continued.

"I believe my father. I know my father. So I think I have that right as a daughter to believe my father."

The interview aired on Monday, at the end of the Winter Olympics in South Korea where Ivanka Trump attended several events.

While at the games, Ivanka met with South Korean president Moon Jae-in to discuss new US sanctions against North Korea.

One of Donald Trump's accusers, politician Rachel Crooks, later tweeted a response to the denial, saying, "I understand the unfortunate position someone would be in to have to admit their father is a misogynist and a sexual predator, but those who remain complicit in his actions are also part of the problem. #metoo #TimesUp."

US Senator Kirsten Gillibrand has called for the resignation of President Donald Trump, following allegations of sexual assault made against him by up to 16 women.

Three of those women, Samantha Holvey, Rachel Crook, and Jessica Leeds - appeared on US Today with Megyn Kelly late last year to retell their experiences with Trump, hoping that this time, with the backing of the #metoo movement, the allegations would be properly investigated.

The women accusing the US President of sexual harassment have asked for a congressional investigation into their claims, while Senator Gillibrand is calling for Trump's resignation as well as a congressional investigation.
